Pegasus bridge
Major Howard’s glider hit the ground at 00.16 am landing 47 yards away from its objective! 20 minutes later Pegaus Bridge became the first Allied objective taken on D-Day.
In order to secure the eastern flank of the Normandy invasion, General Gale’s 6th Airborne Division landed by night in 5 gliders securing both the bridges over the Canal and over the River Orne.
SAINTE MERE EGLISE
From the first objective secured to one of the first liberated towns, the town of Sainte-Mère-Eglise in the Cotentin area. Located just a few kilometers from the Utah Beach, German troops lost control over this landing beach when American soldiers parachuted into town the day before D-Day.
Located on Eisenhower Road, the Airborne Museum is dedicated to the town as an operations theatre of the Battle of Normandy.
Omaha Beach

ARROMANCHES
